The way this frames Buddha-nature as something conditioned by causes rather than simply inherent reminds me of how Aristotle talked about potentiality and actuality. It makes the whole path feel more practical, like something you actively cultivate instead of just uncovering. Do you see those as parallel frameworks?

I think you are right.
The concepts of potentiality and actuality
apply to Buddha-nature as well.
